Pompeii Ruins Half-Day Tour from Sorrento with Guide - Entering the Archaeological Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 714 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $97Our pick

Pompeii from Sorrento in four hours, with hotel pickup, an expert guide, major ruins, and a practical look at the tour’s timing and value.

Review of a half-day Mount Vesuvius tour from Naples, with minibus transport, park entry, crater hike, Bay of Naples views, and practical tips.

“A challenging climb up Mt V is well worth the time and effort! I am 63 and active and made it to the top with no trouble at all. I stopped a mere 3 times to catch my breath. Don’t wear sandals!! The views from the top are spectacular and the crater itself is intense! It is way different and much larger than the volcanoes I explored in Iceland.”

Cruise Capri from Sorrento in a small group, swim by Marina Piccola, see the Faraglioni, and visit the Blue Grotto for an added fee.

“Disaster!! We started late. The tour should have been cancelled due to weather. A few minutes into the trip the water became turbulent. Passengers had to hold on, backs wrenched. Several passengers got sick. We had to get off the boat in Capri because it wasn’t safe to continue. The rain was terrestrial, there was thunder and lightning. We had to seek shelter at a cafe because there was nothing else to do. Contacted the tour operator several times regarding a refund with no response.”

He had great knowledge of the history and would stop occaisionally to not only allow for photos but also to catch our breath and get our bearings periodically. The lunch at Il Ritrovo at the end of the hike was incredible! We would definitely come back and would give Vincenzo our highest recommendation!”
